Biography
Eugen Freund was born in Vienna, Austria on 15 April 1951, and he worked as a press secretary for the Federal Ministry for Foreign Affairs before being elected an SPO MEP in 2014. During the United Kingdom's Brexit referendum, Freund comically rapped a poetic plea for the UK to remain in the European Union, but the UK narrowly voted (with 51% of the vote) to leave. He retired in 2019.
